Acquisition of a general perspective of study, to applicate logical and critical rules.
Language ande truth in the Platonic philosophy. Plato affirms that the relationship between language and thought constitutes the basis of human being. Truth can state her consistence in the biunivocal correspondence between speech and mind, without any alienation in the human existence. Center of platonic philosophy in this regard is an ontological theory of linguistic, against each conventional solution, like that of Sofistics (Protagoras, Gorgias) and in continuity with Parmenides, Eraclit and Socrate.
